Heya guys. I've started using Windows API calls and I'm wondering what the "A" and "W" means in the functions.

An example is the InstallHinfSection function in setupapi.dll.

There is 3 functions in the setupapi.dll file...

InstallHinfSection
InstallHinfSectionA
InstallHinfSectionW

What are the differences?
